AcrossMinds Therapy

AcrossMinds Therapy believes that your mental health matters. Our fast-changing world means that stressful times happen to everyone, and counselling can help you get back on your feet and feel empowered and stronger than ever. In fact, many people tap into counselling over the course of their life and there is a wide range of reasons people seek counselling support.


AcrossMinds Therapy is run by me, Sandy De Bortoli. I am a Trauma Recovery Specialist with 27 years of clinical experience working in mental health, and with victims of trauma. 


Over the years, I have provided support to individuals presenting with complex mental health concerns. People frequently attend counselling to confront fears or strong emotions. They try to better understand their emotions and where they come from. Many aim to develop healthier life habits, get some relief from stress and or, work on overcoming challenges in life (e.g. divorce or loss of a loved one).


​AcrossMinds Therapy provides a safe, non-judgemental supportive space where all people can express and define themselves. It’s a space where together we can unpack and explore whatever it is that brings you to therapy. I also utilise creative therapy to encourage more somatic responses with self-expression when talking alone becomes too complicated.


Working with trauma for so many years, I have witnessed firsthand the incredible potential we all have to heal ourselves. Beginning therapy can be that big step toward being the healthiest version of yourself and living the best life possible, no matter what challenges you may be facing. If you are thinking of taking that step - start with that call!

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers."

As a non-Indigenous woman, Sandy was raised on Wurundjeri Woi-Wurrung Country and acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders as the custodians of the land and waterways. She is forever grateful for the privilege and honour of living in a country where Aboriginal communities constantly strive to address inequalities for Aboriginal people.
